Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers (SDAC) data

The 2015 Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers (SDAC) is the most recent in a series of comprehensive national surveys conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, following similar surveys in 1981, 1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2009 and 2012.

The survey was designed to:

measure the prevalence of disability in Australia

measure the need for support of older people (those aged 65 years and over) and those with disability

provide a demographic and socio-economic profile of people with disability, older people and carers compared with the general population

estimate the number of, and provide information about, those who provide care to people with disability and older people.
